This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
For a moment the world turns its back
And you let me come closer
Though the hearts were filled with fear
For this dark secret love
Oh let the world turn its back
And please let me come closer
Though the hearts filled with fear
For this love
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
As a seal upon thine arm,
For love is strong as death
Jealousy is cruel as the grave.
The coals thereof
Are coals of fire,
Which hath a most vehement flame.
I Love You - (I love you)
I Love You - (I love you)
I Love You - (I love you)
For a moment the world turns its back
And you let me come closer
Though the hearts touched with joy
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love
And you let me come closer
Though the hearts were filled with fear
For this dark secret love
Oh let the world turn its back
And please let me come closer
Though the hearts filled with fear
For this love
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love
Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
As a seal upon thine arm,
For love is strong as death
Jealousy is cruel as the grave.
The coals thereof
Are coals of fire,
Which hath a most vehement flame.
I Love You - (I love you)
I Love You - (I love you)
I Love You - (I love you)
For a moment the world turns its back
And you let me come closer
Though the hearts touched with joy
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love
Our 666 has got a name
We burn in its flames again and again
For it is our
Dark Secret Love

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is amazing!!! I didn't find it on any album.. Where can I find it? And whose the female singer with the amazting voice?
You could find it on the first HIM EP... 666 Ways To Love: Prologue but it's an EP so hard to find almost impossible...
@DrArab Super friggin late but the female singer is Sanna-June Hyde
also she did the female vocals on HIM's cover of Don't Fear The Reaper.
him rule
this songs awesome, i got it on the HIM BoxSet that came out recently
this song is amazing, but i think they deleted it.
"set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm, for love is strong as death jealousy is cruel as the grave. the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame."
-David.
the song is on 666 ways to love, which is VERY rare only 1000 copies (i think!) its their almost demo tape. the girl singing on it is june hyde...same as (don't fear) the reaper! full of random facts today aren't i?
ive never heard this song before but i think the lyrics are amazing! i really want the album 666 ways to love. but i cant find it anywhere.
June Hyde's voice is so perfect for this song.. so so perfect. I adore the passion her and Ville both put into the lyrics. It makes the song all the more powerful... la la la.. anyone know who this woman is though???? ( June Hyde )
thats because its not meant to be hardcore!! an if you hate them why are you looking on here!?
awww how cute
screenwrite thinks he understands HIM!
tool.
What is ridiculous about it? It describes the style perfectly; stripped down hard and fast.
Him are not a Hardcore band, they are "love-metal" {sniggers to himself}
